Situation |
What Orange County says |
What user should ask |
|---|---|---|

“Which payment method posts fastest today?” |
Past due and possible disconnection |
Pay online or through automated system at 407-836-5515 because the account may already be scheduled for disconnection. |
“Is the account already scheduled for disconnection?” |
Cannot pay full balance |
County FAQ says account holder may come to the office for partial payment and payment arrangement if the issue is high bill/leak/pool fill/new lawn/back-billing or unforeseen issue. |
“Can I sign a payment arrangement, and what amount is required today?” |
Delinquent status |
If the account has entered delinquent status, the full balance is required through enhanced payment systems. |
“Has my account entered delinquent status?” |

High Bill, Leak, Pool Fill or Lawn Replacement Adjustment
2025 adjustment rule
Effective October 1, 2025, Orange County’s approved excessive water consumption adjustment process may apply to all customers with 5/8 x 3/4 inch meters and all residential customers regardless of meter size.
60-day deadline
The correct form and documentation must be submitted within 60 days of the date of unusually high consumption.
County review required
Orange County Utilities staff must investigate and verify before adjustment approval.
